Osmolarity

The concentration of a substance in a solution is called osmolarity. Terrestrial and freshwater animals and marine bonyfishes maintain body mass concentrations one-third that of saltwater and 10 times that of freshwater. So they are called Osmoregulators. Those animals whose concentration of body substances is equal to the concentration of environment are called Osmoconformers.
